I want to put some temporary html files in /tmp (well, a sub-directory of /tmp) and view them using apache2. I always get permission denied and it seems as if apache2 refuses to access any files in /tmp.
I have a very simple apache2 set up with the root set to /srv with an entry as follows:-
<Directory /srv/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Require all granted </Directory>I add symlinks to /srv to get access to files around the system, it works for every directory I've tried (even including such places as /etc) but *not* for /tmp. (I've removed all the odd symlinks again of course!)
What's so special about /tmp? I've searched for references to tmp in the apache configuration but there's nothing there.
Can anyone suggest what the issue is?
Is your apache running chroot'd?
